At some point I must have pushed the volume knob in too far, because it's now kind of recessed and harder to turn compared to the tuning knob on the right. I had wondered if I was just imagining this, and maybe it was always that way. Then a few weeks ago in Toronto my friend picked me up in a car share vehicle that also happened to be a C, and I realized the volume knob was normal whereas mine is not. Any chance I'll just be able to pop it back into place? Or should I just check with a dealer on warranty? This is on a Canadian base model, C2 equivalent. Galaxy Nexus ? 2
Can't hurt trying to pull it out. Worst case is u break it.......then have dealer fix under warranty.
I noticed the same thing after my wife drove my C2 - she must have hated whatever was coming out of the radio and smashed the power button! Now I have to use the steering wheel controls to change the volume. Has anyone discovered a fix?
Take to dealer? Pull out with fingers? Pull out with pliers which have been cushioned to not scratch button?
To follow up... At my 6-month service I asked the dealer to check the volume knob. They agreed to replace the whole radio (under warranty). I was not able to find a simple fix. I could pull the knob out with my fingertips, but it would just pop right back in. I didn't bother to remove the radio to investigate in any detail.
I had the same problem, just swapped the volume knob with the tunning knob since the tunning knob just needs to spin. The knob had been pushed in to hard and broke the teeth on the back.
How did you swap the volume knobs? Do you just pull on them really hard and pull them out? Or do you have to remove the radio unit to get to them? I have the same problem. Power volume mashed in and I have to pull it out with my fingers to get a grip good enough to turn it.
Is this just a case of the knob being too flimsy, so something snaps inside of it and it goes too far down on the shaft? If I could pull the knob off I might try carefully dabbing Plasti Dip down into the shaft hole to build enough up to stop the knob at the right depth again.
If all else fails, there are some nice after market head units on the market. When mine died, I got this one: Sony 6.95" Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Bluetooth Digitial Media Receiver - Black (XAVAX3250) | Visions Electronics Canada
